Connolly (suspension) was demoted to the taxi squad Wednesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly still has one game remaining on his four-game suspension, which won't count unless he is elevated to the active roster for Thursday's matchup with Arizona. Even once his ban is over, the 29-year-old winger figures to remain a fringe roster player moving forward. As such, the British Columbia native shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Connolly (suspension) was promoted from the taxi squad on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly has yet to serve his four-game suspension, although the NHL's scheduling shuffle during the holiday break makes it unclear when the winger will be eligible to return.

The Blackhawks added Connolly (suspension) to their taxi squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear why Chicago added Connolly to the taxi squad, as he hasn't begun serving his four-game suspension and would be useless if promoted to the NHL roster.

Connolly (suspension) was sent down to AHL Rockford on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly wasn't going to be in the Blackhawks' lineup before the new year anyway after he received a four-game suspension for interference against the Stars' Tanner Kero. It's unclear if the 29-year-old Connolly will be allowed to play in the minors.

Connolly was suspended four games for interference against the Stars' Tanner Kero (upper body) in Saturday's game.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly leveled Kero near the boards in the first period. Since Kero never had possession, he was not in an eligible position to be hit, hence the lengthy suspension for interference on Connolly. He did not have a history of supplemental discipline prior to this instance. Connolly will be eligible to return Jan. 1 versus the Predators.

Connolly was recalled from AHL Rockford on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old and one-time 22-goal-scorer (2018-19) has yet to set foot on NHL ice this season. Connolly has been reasonably productive with the IceHogs to the tune of 11 points in 16 games, so he should provide a nice bit of veteran depth with the Blackhawks if he's indeed pressed into action.

Chicago waived Connolly on Tuesday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly picked up 19 goals and 33 points in 69 games with Florida in 2019-20 before experiencing a steep decline with just six points in 31 contests split between the Panthers and the Blackhawks in 2021-22, so he could get plucked off waivers by a forward-needy team. If not, the 29-year-old winger will likely be assigned to AHL Rockford.

Connolly (concussion) is on the ice for Friday's training camp practice, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly missed time late last season with a concussion, but it appears as though he has made a full recovery from that injury. The 29-year-old winger tallied three goals and six points in 31 games split between the Panthers and the Blackhawks last season and will likely have to settle for a rotational, bottom-six role with Chicago this year.

Connolly (concussion) will miss Chicago's last two games of the season, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly will finish the season having totaled just six points in 31 games split between the Blackhawks and Panthers. He'll likely be a regular in Chicago's bottom six in 2021-22.

Connolly was diagnosed with a concussion after Thursday's game versus the Hurricanes, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connolly was hurt in a second-period collision with the Hurricanes' Steven Lorentz, and head contact was made on the play. With the concussion diagnosis, the Blackhawks will likely take caution, which likely means Connolly's season is done. He produced six points in 31 appearances between the Blackhawks and the Panthers.
